Shawl Ministry

​CHS has a Shawl Ministry to bless and distribute shawls to those in need.

We also have a social group, “Knit & Chat” where volunteers gather to enjoy fellowship and create items.   The group is suspended for the summer!  See you in September!
​
Every Monday afternoon from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm a group gathers at the Kane's (new venue!) for Knit/Crochet & Chat.  We work on shawls as part of our Prayer Shawl Ministry.  No skill is required as we will teach.  Just bring a cheery disposition and a desire to help this Ministry.  The Prayer Shawls give great comfort. Please contact Susan Kane at sue&[email protected] for information.

The Shawl Ministry at Church of the Holy Spirit was started by Deacon Johnine Byrer in Sept. 2004 and continues to thrive, with 150-200 shawls being distributed every year.

Prayer Shawls are made by volunteers – this ministry is open to all; men and women, the young and less young, experienced and novice. Shawls and lap blankets are knitted or crocheted but no experience is needed. We can teach! The process is meditative and the maker thinks of the recipient, known or unknown, and incorporates their prayers and blessings into the shawl as they create a shawl. It can be done while watching TV, travelling, or just about anytime, anyplace!

Shawls and lap blankets are made and given for many reasons. Often they are given to someone who has experienced a loss or an illness, but they are also given for happy occasions such as the birth of a child, a wedding or baptism. Many prayers are entwined in the stitches throughout the creation process and each shawl is blessed before being sent on its way.
